CD copying question

I just tried to burn a copy of the game Aliens vs Predator 2 using the latest Nero. It seems to work; I don't get any errors, but the game just WON'T RUN off the copied CD. It runs smooth with the original CD. I had the same prob a while back when I copied Starcraft.
Is there some setting I'm missing in Nero to get it working??

The only problem is that the original cd is copy protected. Nero can break some of the copy protections, but not all ;) So just stick with the original cd or search the internet for breaking those protection, i can't help you with this coz i've never done this ;) GooD Luck!
